The real story here is that there was a group of loopy Black Nationalists calling themselves “African Israelites” or something like that who were taunting and threatening both the white students and the Indians, both of whom were initially marching/protesting peacefully. Instead of documenting the actions of the “African Israelites”, the media focuses on and scapegoats some white kids whose worst offense is looking with a goofy grin towards an Indian protester.
I have heard black folks refer to this stuff as ‘thug religion’ or ‘gang religion’. Their shock phrase, to draw out the crackers, is that Jesus was black. I always reply that Jesus was white and I got a picture at home to prove it.
